Project 12 Part 3: ChicArt Magazine "Article Page"

For this part of the project, i am going to design a piece of the "article page" for the magazine. So after done much research, i chose the topic "Breaking the rules of design" as the article that i am going to design a article page for. So to get started, i took a piece of "bokeh effect" photograph to be used as the background of the magazine, another reason why i chose to use bokeh effect photograph is because that i have used the similar style images for both my cover and content page. So in order to retain the same style, i chose this.















Next, i placed a dark column on the middle part of the page because i am going to put a model there later on. *Please click of the image for bigger picture if you couldn't see the darker column.















Next, i went to this website Stock,xchng for some pictures of fashion icons. After i found the pictures i wanted, i cropped them in the photoshop and pasted them on my design.















Lastly, i added words and titles on the design and after some final touch-up, the design is finished.















This is how the final design looks like.

Project 12 Part 2: ChicArt Magazine "Content Page"

For this part of the project, i am going to design the content page of the magazine, in order to maintain the style of the magazine, i decided to use the same background that i have used for the cover page of the magazine.















Next i added the lines on the bottom part of the background.















Now, it's time to add the "page numbers" on the lines and i wanted it to look unique, thus, i used the format of numbers as "0203" or "0506".















Next, i will add the names of the articles that will be featuring inside the magazine, it will be placed beside the "page numbers"















This is how the final design looks like.
